Free #ElHiblu3 is a campaign for 3 young men standing accused of terrorism in Malta for preventing an illegal push-back to Libya in 2019. http://linktr.ee/elhiblu3
Hearing, 12 June
The #ElHiblu3 defence is attacking the terrorism charges against the accused young men, arguing the proper reference to the law were not made in the charges issued against them.

Today, the hearing of Malta against the #ElHiblu3 was postponed again as the Attorney General claims to not have received a notification and therefore was not prepared.
We‘ll continue on 12 June in the courts of Valletta.
Those delays need to stop.

I'm a little late to the game but please do read this important and very informative piece on the El Hiblu 3 and their search for justice.
Malta, a nation of seafarers, turns its back on people in need and instead criminalises who steps up to take responsibility to help those seeking protection. Our summary on the six years in limbo of the #ElHiblu3 can be found here: timesofmalta.com/article/abuse-el-hiblu-3.1107424

Abuse of the El Hiblu 3
The three young men in the El Hiblu case are still in legal limbo. In pursuing it, Malta is making examples of individuals for the purpose of deterrence

On 27 March, it will be exactly 6 years since a group of 100 people were rescued by the #ElHiblu tanker that attempted to illegally return them to Libya. Thanks to the #ElHiblu3, that was prevented. Unfortunately, at the cost of Abdalla, Amara and Kaders freedom. The three remain in a legal limbo.
